The NC State Fair

My parents were fortunate to be in town for the NC State Fair this year so we all went on the last Saturday. We got there early which was good because by the time we left at around noon it was packed!! We were very lucky this year as one of my clients family has a farm that was showing cows at the fair so we got to get up close and personal and the girls even got to brush Polly's tail! They loved it.

I really go to eat at the fair but the girls definitely go for the animals! They kept telling us they needed to see the cows again :)

Here are Taylor and Madeline checking out the show cows, of course Taylor needed to know each one of their names, there were 7.
Stacie happily obliged and went down the row naming all 7 cows for Taylor.
Here is Taylor brushing Polly's tail.

The whole crew... and for those of you that know me the only reason I was close enough to the cows to brush ones tail was because they were taking a nap, they were tied to the fence, they were the cleanest cows I have ever seen and Stacie was there to save me!
again notice Stacie and my child are closer to the cow than I am :)
Grammy bought the girls sunglasses and Madeline wore them the WHOLE time.The girls had to watch the dancing veggies twice!

What fair would be complete without a GIANT Adirondack chair.
They both got a kick out of ringing the bell.
Oh and we had to put our face in EVERY cut out that we saw! (I spared you the tons of cut out pictures and only gave you a couple.)


Taylor loved this little school bus, there was a person talking through it and Taylor told it her name so the bus and Taylor had a conversation. They also got these little yellow buses to take home which the girls promptly brought to show and tell at school.

One of the girls favorite exhibits was the Mommy and babies. It is all kinds of baby animals and their moms, pigs, goats, cows, horses, donkeys...
